Chapter 1607: Familiar with the routine

Chapter 1608

Court One, exploded.

Over the stadium, a mushroom cloud of heat wave rose, so turbulent and crazy that the spectators coming and going at the All England Club couldn't help but stop and look over in amazement, and the spectators watching the game on the central court also pricked up their ears—

Billowing air waves overflowed the sky and covered the sky, and the madness of boiling and burning surged in the air, and the sun at noon was also eclipsed.

— All attention.

However, the spectators in the stadium were completely unaware of the turbulent waves they created, one or two were immersed in frenzy, jumping and cheering and releasing.

Wonderful, it's happening.

From Dimitrov's forehand fairy ball to Gao Wen's passive crossing to break the net, the first set entered the end of the game and also ushered in a second small climax.

"40:40".

The suspense continues—

ACE, Dimitrov successfully got the second inventory.

Gao Wen scored again with a forehand slashing the line.

You come and go, you don't give an inch, the tense atmosphere makes the air almost stagnate, and the audience is completely insane.

Pooran felt like her heart was about to burst, and she was so tense that she couldn't breathe.

For a moment, Pu Lan wanted to close her eyes or divert her gaze, and she didn't dare to watch any more; but she still convinced herself that she chose to come to watch the game, either because she wanted to witness it with her own eyes, or because she wanted to fight side by side, or Do you just want to accompany Gao Wen on this journey?

breathe. take a deep breath.

Putting her hands together, Pu Lan meditated: break point, break point, break point, she didn't expect Gao Wen to break serve, she just hoped to see a possibility, after all, in the whole first set, Gawain didn't get a single break point, now, She just hoped that Gao Wen could see a chance.

In the audience, everything was quiet, and it seemed that one could feel the roaring bulge and impact of the heart on the eardrum.

Dimitrov, serve.

One shot, enter the zone.

Inner corner!

This time, in the first zone, Dimitrov broke the routine, attacked the inner corner, and broke the game with a backhand from Gao Wen.

Obviously, Dimitrov knows that he needs to guarantee the threat of a serve, otherwise, in the baseline round, now that Gao Wen has improved his state and reversed the situation and has the upper hand, for him, the risk index has risen, and he needs his own serve. Now it is the so-called The critical moment, the moment to see the truth.

And, not a casual serve, but one that guarantees a quality assurance threat.

Concentration, high concentration.

The muscles of Dimitrov's whole body tensed up. Following the completion of the serving movement, Dimitrov quickly adjusted his footsteps and kept his vitality. Move as soon as possible to seize the opportunity.

"Yes."

Dimitrov was overjoyed. Gawain failed to complete his backhand swing. In the end, he barely touched and knocked the tennis ball back in an unconventional way. This also meant that there was no control at all. Dimitrov By serving to establish an advantage, he won the opportunity to connect the offense.

The only thing to note is that the serve is in the inner corner, so that when Gao Wen couldn't control the tennis ball, the return ball basically returned to the middle.

Moreover, the parabola is slightly deeper, and it is only about two steps away from the bottom line.

This also means that Dimitrov has an offensive opportunity, but the tactical layout of the offensive line and landing point needs to be carefully considered.

Especially in the last point, when he had the offensive initiative, he exposed his offensive intentions, so that Gao Wen broke through the net and scored in the end. Naturally, this point needs to be more focused, dedicated and comprehensive.

Broken steps.

Continuous broken steps.

Without any hesitation, Dimitrov adjusted a series of small steps and moved to his forehand position. Once the roc spread its wings, he had already shot.

slash.

deep area.

This is Dimitrov's iconic forehand slash, crossing the audience, looking for the big triangle in the deep area of ​​the diagonal, like a swordsman fluttering in white, seeing blood seal his throat, although the strength is not great, with The speed is good; but the tail force is strong, the impact is full, and the suppression of the whole ball quality is very prominent.

Without thinking, Dimitrov chose this route without hesitation, the route he is best at and the most outstanding—

Gao Wen, accurate prediction.

Classic, but also clichéd, there are often no secrets between opponents who are familiar enough, and it is easy to predict.

Such is the case between the Big Four:

There are no secrets, so we need to find another way, there are no secrets, so we need to collide with each other, and there are no secrets, so we just need to play on the spot.

The same is true for Gao Wen and Dimitrov. Although this is their first official match, they have a certain understanding of each other's routines through daily training, watching their friends' matches more than once, and doubles partners. Gao Wen's capture also captured the key points.

Stopped and turned quickly. After receiving the serve, Gao Wen also adjusted his center of gravity in a series of small steps. After a short pause, he moved sideways to the right.

With one stride, the body is ready. In the midst of the chaos, the attention is highly concentrated, staring at Dimitrov's return ball. Judging from the parabola, this should be a shot aimed at the deep zone. Even if Gao Wen is in place smoothly, he will inevitably be squeezed.

So, how should Gao Wen deal with it?

With a kick and a pause, the footsteps have already controlled the body, and then, the right leg deliberately retreats a small half step to make room, and the forehand has already struck.

Accident!

Gao Wen didn't hit the rising point forward, but retreated a little bit to open up space, and then made a big forehand swing, a Na-style shot around the head.

topspin.

Strong topspin.

Faced with Dimitrov's forehand slanting to attack the ball in the deep zone, Gao Wen swung his forehand around his head and hit a super topspin.

Turning, spinning violently, the mustard yellow high-speed spinning can be clearly seen in the sight, along the diagonal line, falling sharply towards Dimitrov's forehand position.

On that side, Dimitrov reacted quickly, adjusted his steps continuously, and was accurate.

However, just as he was about to hit the ball, Dimitrov realized that Gawain gave up his strength and speed and pulled out a deep shot with strong topspin. The real purpose was actually the landing point. This is a typical defensive style. attack-

That is to say, on the surface it is defending, but in fact it creates difficulties for the opponent through the combination of rotation and landing~lightnovelpub.net~ and finally achieves the goal of counterattack.

You can tell at a glance that this is a clay court tactic. Maybe it can be seen occasionally on grass, but due to the characteristics of grass, such counterattacks are not common.

Transitioning from clay to grass, Gao Wen occasionally used clay tactics to enrich his rhythm.

Dimitrov was a little surprised.

Even though his feet were in place, Gao Wen's shot was deep enough to press on the sideline close to the baseline, with strong topspin forming a violent impact.

Dimitrov tried to take a forehand sweep, but the hitting point was a little bit early. After realizing this, he quickly took another forehand to avoid being unable to hold the ball due to strong topspin. Flying the tennis ball to the stands, however, the arc of the return ball rose as soon as it was stretched.

Whoosh!

High and gently, the tennis ball rises.

Moreover, this is not an active topspin, but a high ball caused by failing to control the tennis ball in a passive situation, which instantly wiped out Dimitrov's advantages.

Oops!

Dimitrov's alarm bells go off.
